Orland Park Residents Challenged To #Explore64

ORLAND PARK, IL – There’s a new hashtag in Orland Park --- #Explore64. The village’s Recreation and Parks Departments are challenging residents to explore all 64 village park sites to compete for prizes.

“This is a fun scavenger hunt that families can enjoy while visiting Orland Park’s many parks,” said Trustee Dan Calandriello, chair of the village’s Recreation and Parks Committee. “We take great pride in our parks and green spaces. We want people to see all that the village’s park system offers and complete some tasks to compete for prizes.”

Orland Park’s Explore 64 Hunt will be open to the first 100 competitors July 9 through August 9. Participants must download the Scavify App on Google Play or the App Store. Once downloaded, create a free account and search for the hunt called “Explore 64.”

The hunt includes three types of tasks, a photo challenge; a GPS check in and a question and answer. This program is sponsored by the Law Office of Dan Calandriello.

“Orland Park’s Explore 64 is a great way to get kids outside, to the parks and have some fun while there,” said Nancy Flores, director of recreation. “Families can visit the parks at their leisure --- before the contest ends --- and share what they’re doing on social media using the hashtag #Explore64.”

The first person to visit all 64 parks on or before August 9, 2018 wins the Top Explorer First Place Award -- a one month membership to the village’s Sportsplex. The second place winner to visit all 64 parks on or before the deadline wins two free passes to the Centennial Park Aquatic Center.

Third place honors go to the top 10 winners who visit 50-63 parks to earn two free passes for the kayak and pedal boats at Lake Sedgewick. Rules and prize details can be found at #Exlore64.
